Title: Kilborn & Bishop 4 Inch
Post by: Lewill2 on May 18, 2015, 06:13:14 PM

My best find this weekend from the $1.00 bin at the Jacktown Spring flea market. Marked "K & B New Haven CT USA" Opposite side "4 Inch Adjustable 22 1/2  Degree" Square shut off valve wrench opening in the end of the handle. Measures in at 4 1/8 inches long. Some heaving pitting but it still works smooth.

Kilborn & Bishop was established in 1896 when they bought the drop forging business of the Miner & Peck Mfg Co.

Very nice wrench. Can't beat the price either.

Don't think I've ever seen one in the wild before.
